Animal rights group comes to the rescue of typhoon Yolanda's furry survivors
Unlike human survivors who can cry for help after surviving a natural disaster, pets can only bark, meow or chirp to express their distress and need for aid.
In the aftermath of typhoon Yolanda, several companion animals such as dogs and cats have been seen in videos and photos roaming the streets for food, separated from their human masters.
The plight of the typhoon's furry survivors has received little attention both from the media and the national government as resources became focused on human victims still struggling to survive.
On November 11, three days after the super typhoon barreled through Central Philippines, an 11-man team from the global animal rights group Humane Society International (HSI) flew to Tacloban City in Leyte to set up a mobile veterinary clinic where survivors can go with their wounded pets.
